The scene in particular happened in the middle of the episode. It’s an intense and sensual scene that feels rated R without showing any bit of nudity.
Denji and Makima’s Steamy Scene
In case you need a refresher, the fifth episode begins with Denji finally getting his wish of touching boobs, courtesy of Power. However, instead of being delighted, Denji was put into a daze as his lifelong dream wasn’t as great as he expected. While doing paperwork, Makima notices Denji’s depressed state. Upon inquiring what’s wrong, Denji shares how his dream didn’t feel as good, thus he now lacks any sort of motivation. Makima senses this, and she pounces, making for one of the steamiest anime scenes of the season. First, Makima says that holding someone will feel better if Denji were closer to that person. Then, she makes suggestive advances toward Denji, such as holding his hand, biting his finger, and letting Denji feel her boobs. Makima then tells Denji that she’ll do anything that he wants, so long as he defeats the Gun Devil. What follows is a harrowing explanation of what the Gun Devil is and its frightening power. Undeterred and with newfound motivation, Denji promises that he’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the Gun Devil.
